On the Linux download page at vpython.org there is a rebuilt source package for VPython 5.72 which fixes the crashes on Linux (tested on the latest Ubuntu). The problem turned out to be that in src/gtk2/display.cpp the function Gdk::GL::get_proc_address is broken on recent releases of Ubuntu and Debian (and maybe Fedora) and has been replaced with glXGetProcAddress which does work. Bruce Sherwood P.S. I'll mention that in my many years of work with VPython on three different platforms, the Windows environment has been remarkably stable across operating system changes, the Mac environment much less so (in that until recently things broke when the OS version number changed in the last decimal place), and Linux also has been somewhat unstable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
